Chief Executive Michael O’Leary stated that European airlines are sourcing jet fuel from alternative countries to overcome supply shocks caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that demand remains robust despite an increase in last-minute bookings. The company is close to finalising a four-year contract extension for CEO Michael O’Leary from March 2028, which includes a proposal for 10 million share awards contingent on ambitious profit after tax or share price growth targets.
